Key Features

• Front suspension strut mount kit for mount and bearing service
• OE-quality replacement component for select Toyota front suspension applications

Product Details

KYB Mount Components are engineered as direct replacement suspension parts for specific vehicle applications. This SM5949 strut mount kit addresses the upper strut mounting point, where the bearing plate plays a role in steering response, vehicle weight support, and alignment stability. For Toyota RAV4, Toyota RAV4 Prime, and Toyota Venza front suspension service, this part is intended to restore the function of worn mount and bearing components that can cause clunks, vibration, and steering noise.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues Addressed

• Front-end noise over bumps or rough pavement
• Steering vibration caused by worn strut mount components
• Harsh ride feel from hardened vibration insulators
• Alignment concerns related to worn bearing plates
• Clunking or jarring from the upper strut area

Installation Notes

Install on the front suspension only for the listed applications. Because strut mounts affect steering pivot and alignment, inspect the strut assembly, bearing plate, and related wear parts during service. Verify vehicle fitment by year, model, and position before installation. Part number SM5949 should be matched to the exact application listed above.

Quality Assurance

KYB is known for OE-quality suspension replacement components, and the Mount Components line is built around application-specific fitment and consistent suspension performance. SM5949 follows that OE-style replacement approach for the listed Toyota front applications.
